Former Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has called on President Bola Tinubu to decentralize Nigeria's electricity system. In an open letter, he argued that the country should reduce reliance on the national grid and encourage community-based power solutions. He cited data from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission showing a significant gap between installed capacity and available dispatch, with only about 4,286MW available out of 13,625MW installed in April. He also noted a decline in grid generation on August 22, when output fell to about 1,132MW in the evening.
